Capt. Tanner Severt
Made Here — 13 years in the shop, a lifetime on the lagoon
Runs a 17 EVOMosquito Lagoon
Tanner’s East Cape story started before he ever stepped behind a push pole for a living — as a kid on the Mosquito Lagoon, watching boats and chasing fish.
By 17 he was working at East Cape after school. Sweeping floors, washing boats, gel coat repair, vacuum bagging. That first job became thirteen years: the shop floor, wet tests, running new builds, watching the Vantage and the EVO series take shape from the inside.
Now he guides full time across the Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon, two hundred trips a year, on a 17 EVO he knows from the inside out. Made Here is his film.
I think I've probably been on more East Capes than anybody else.Capt. Tanner Severt

Tanner, working.
Their boat. Your boat.
Build a 17 EVO like Tanner’s.
Same hull, your choices — power, colors, rigging. Start with the 17 EVO, then build it your way. One at a time, in Longwood, Florida.
